Roaccutane - introduction

So I'm Catherine and I'm 14 from the UK. I have quite a few spots on my forehead so I decided to take the tablet called Roaccutane. Im going to use this blog everyday to update people on how I am dealing with side affects I may have. The side affects can be quite serious but they are rare, common ones are dry skin, dry lips and tiredness. When I decided to go on roaccutane I went through a company called 'Sk:n'. I had to have a meeting with a dermatologist and she explained everything. I also had to sign I piece of paper to say I would get an abortion if I got pregnant (but I'm only 14 so that's not going to happen!) the dermatologist also said I had to have a blood test (so they can work out how much medication to give me) and a pregnancy test. You only get a blood test done once and the pregnancy test is done every month. My parents decided that we should go private so I could start the treatment soon. I started the treatment within a week of me deciding to go on Roaccutane and if we went NHS I would have to wait until September to start. Yes, going private is alot more expensive but we just want it to be done. For my first perscription (of 30mg) it cost about £50. It's quite hard for Me and my mam because we have to travel over 2 hours to get to the hospital for the pregnancy test and to pick up my prescription just because it has to be done by specialist people and the one closest to us happens to be 2 hours away unfortunately, I will also end up missing a few days off school because I have to go during school hours. Okay, so if any of that made sense then that's good! If you have any questions just ask! :)
